Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t always told about God & Christ in my life. As a teenager, when I was questioning myself & life, I fully accepted Christ. Over the years, I must admit that I have waivered. But He has always been there with open arms waiting for me.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

Kechi United Methodist Church – Kechi KS: Children’s Director 6 yrs, Secretary 3 yrs, Bookkeeper 3 yrs, Board Member 2 yrs

Central Community Church of God – Wichita KS: Worship Arts Assistant 3 yrs

Holy Covenant United Methodist Church – Katy TX: Youth Leader 2 yrs, Women’s Ministry Assistant 1 yr

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

A former pastor reminding me of my worth & how much God loves & cares for me

Becoming a mom & grandma (what an awesome, humbling experience)
Being a wife & partner to Dale

Serving in different capacities & finding where God can use me the best

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

Questioning my self worth – I was married to a man for 2 years that cheated on me the entire time & always telling me how fortunate I was to have him in my life

Mistakes I made as a Mom

Former pastor telling me I was no longer welcome at “his church”.

Everyone Else After those
